Plot
It is 1888 in London, and the poor
lead horrifying lives in the East End's Whitechapel district.
Harassed by gangs and forced to work the streets for a living, Mary Kelly (Heather Graham) and her small group of prostitutes trudge on through this daily misery, their only consolation being that things can't get any worse.
Слайд 6
Yet things somehow do when their friend Ann
is kidnapped.
The kidnapping is soon followed by the gruesome
murder of another woman, Martha, and it becomes apparent that they are being hunted down, one by one as the various prostitutes are murdered and mutilated post mortem.
Слайд 7
The murder of Martha and her companions
grabs the attention of Police Inspector Frederick Abberline (Johnny
Depp), a brilliant yet troubled man whose police work is often aided by his psychic "visions."
Abberline's investigations reveal that the murders imply that an educated person is responsible due to the precise and almost surgical method used.
Слайд 8
Abberline consults Sir William Gull (Ian Holm), a
physician to the Royal Family, drawing on his experience
and knowledge of medicine.
After Abberline deduces that Masonic influence is definitely present in these crimes. His superior, a high ranking Freemason himself, then makes direct intervention and suspends Abberline. It is then revealed that Sir William Gull is the killer.
Слайд 9
He has been killing the witnesses to Prince
Eddy's forbidden Catholic marriage to Ann (Joanna Page), the
prostitute who bore his legitimate daughter (Alice).
The Freemasons decide to lobotomize Gull to protect the Royal family from the scandal.
Gull defiantly states he has no equal among men, remaining without guilt right up to his lobotomy, resulting in him becoming invalid just as Ann had been.
Слайд 10
Mary lives happily ever after with Alice in
a cottage on a cliff by the sea. Inspector
Frederick Abberline is found dead of an opium overdose, knowing he can never see Mary again without endangering her.
